Child, Youth and Family Studies

Child, Youth and Family Studies students are nationally certified to work with families in a variety of settings, agencies and programs. Graduates take positions working in childcare, youth centers, adoption agencies, family crisis and elder care programs.

As part of their course of study, many students opt to participate in cultural-immersion, service-learning courses in locations such as Romania, China, Mexico and Native American Reservations in the U.S. These popular trips are led by department faculty members.
